Congratulations slow911tt and CMS! Looks like you guys have left no stone unturned to achieve this incredible performance package. It must be a blast to drive
.
I would agree with the other members those modular 18"s certainly aren't flattering on this car however, 18" being the superior wheel size selection for track use i'm quite sure thats why they are on? I mean where else can you take this car to stretch it's legs? An airstrip.

Fantastic build! I think your wheels would look really good if you added a yellow pinstripe to the black lip. I had a similar color matched setup on my old car, got to where you are now, and added the pinstripe. It fills out the proportions of the wheels visually. Right now it looks like you mounted 16" wheels on drag slicks.

I have to agree with the rest, think some satin black GMG 130R wheels with center locks would look amazing and go with the RS theme. Cant whate to see some 60 to 130 times on pump gas. Those wheels forks go right to the edge so a 19" looks like a 20".

Hardly skimping.........Forgeline are excellent rims. My eye for colors are bad.

.That is exactly why they are on. Forgeline is a major player in the select venues. They are lightweight at (I belive 19-22#) and of course 18's open the door to many alternatives in tires.
I couldnt punch it at 70 MPH with R888's or MSC's w/o it spinning.

I could just imagine. You'd be smoking the tires off the rims faster than you could put em on with all that torque especially on 19/20's. With 18's the choice of tires is just so much wider....and far more cost effective given how long they are going to last.

Very nice build
All black would be perfect. They look too small because of the yellow centres
